Depression and the Beck Depression Inventory: Normative Study of the Czech Version and Comparison with Foreign Data
Čihařová, Markéta ; Šivicová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Loneková, Katarína (referee)
The thesis is dealing with the topic of depression and measurement instruments, which may contribute to its diagnostics and assessment. Special attention is dedicated to the Beck Depression Inventory, second edition, and the aim of this thesis is to provide normative data acquired from a large sample of healthy adult participants coming from the Czech Republic (N = 450; aged 18 to 96 years). The Beck Depression Inventory, second edition (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996) belongs among the most famous and most often used measures of depression severity. A significant relationship was found between the BDI-II total score and gender and education level, but not age. Women tended to score significantly higher than men on average, and a negative correlation between the BDI-II total score and education was found. Therefore, the normative data were analysed and stratified according to these two demographic variables. Tables, presenting means, standard deviations, percentiles and standard scores are provided for the total unstratified sample as well as for demographically defined subgroups. In addition, internal consistency of the Czech version was high (alpha above .80). The item-total correlations, and factorial structure of the instrument were investigated and the results were compared with results...

The relationship between eating habbits and use of alcohol in adult obese individuals
Ambrožová, Markéta ; Čablová, Lenka (advisor) ; Reichelová, Lenka (referee)
Startings: Etiopathogenesis of obesity applies influence of many factors which are together in a variety of interactions. This bachelor paper focuses on monitoring the relationship between psychobehaviolar characteristics and alcohol use in obese adult individuals. Targets: The primary aim of the study is to analyze eating habits and behaviour. For example the number of daily food servings, regular breakfasts, total intake of energy and macronutrient, dining preferences, score of restriction, disinhibition and hunger, the level of depression in relation to alcohol consumption. The bachelor paper further focuses on identifying other possible links (influence of gender, relationships between the consumption of alcoholic drinks, preferences of certain foods etc.). Also other parameters such as reasons that the respondents considered to be the cause of their body weight increase and the maximum and minimum body weight in adulthood were monitored. Methodics: 41 women (median (lower, upper quartile)): age = 51.07 (40.43, 61.25), BMI = 37.56 (31.85, 40.48) and 10 men: age = 41.38 (36.67, 51.72), BMI = 36.87 (32.55, 40.66) were monitored. A questionnare-based research using internationally recognised questionnaires was used to conduct the research. These were: the Eating Inventory (EI), Beck Depression...
